I would give them twenty stars if I could. There are other cab companies they say they are the best (one also had 5 stars and no one stars) but they aren't, they may offer good service but still be as predatory as any others i.e. I was arriving at the Sac. Valley train station around midnight, and had to go to the Holiday Inn Express which was less than two blocks away. The hotel was normally a little higher than what I usually paid, but didn't want to spend a lot on taxi fares, and since that was close by I booked that.
To my chagrin and dismay, a cab ride that should have cost around $10 was going for $45-50 at various companies (which bothered to answer the phone) of the night (was willing to pay double the reg. fare but not quadruple) even went on Craigslist where the driver wanted $25 but at the very bottom of the list was College Cab-being from Davis-I didn't think that they would come out here but called anyway and the owner Michael answered and was very upset that they were charging so much, but I told him even though I am an old lady (69) and small 5'3" and 120 lbs I could probably walk over there without a problem (when people see me, I make them laugh, I take a martial arts stance waving my hands saying hi-yah and say I can scare a mugger off!!)
He did not want me to walk or take a CL ride and he came all the way out from Davis (maybe. he had rides in Sac. I hope so) to take me there and NOT at those overinflated prices. I wanted to ask if he was a Christian as he was like an angel from heaven (but good people aren't necessarily religious-though I felt God was working for me.)
Please use this cab company as your first resort, supporting a local business (hope they don't sell to a big equity firm sigh, for a million dollars sigh!) and I going to pst this everywhere I can, these people deserve this GREAT review, but I am worried if I come again, whether I can book them again if so many people know how great they are! read more
